Not to be confused with the Grad Recruiting Happy Cap (see previous post), PBS successfully hosted some of the nation’s best and brightest prospective grad students over Valentine’s Day Weekend. Although the weekend was largely viewed a success, there were a few moments that made us less than proud. Of particular note, Graduate Chair Paul Whalen’s overview of the Graduate Program’s curriculum, requirements, and expectations devolved into a thirty-plus minute infomercial on the virtue of studying the amygdala.

Not at Dartmouth. The PBS faculty (both men and women) has a proud new tradition of sharing Professor Bill Kelley’s favorite hat (The G-STAR Hat of Most Excellent Fashion) during Graduate Recruiting Weekend.
